Your homework is to check that you have fully grasped what each of these areas of the toolkit are.

Today we had a visit from Mrs Fry who taught us all about chocolate. We learnt all about the history of chocolate and where chocolate comes from. Also we got to taste different chocolates – one was lemon flavour!! Everyone got to make their own chocolate lolly which was whatever shape we wanted. There were lollies of every shape – hearts, stars, trees and even crocodiles!
Can you guess what shape these chocolate lollies are?
3C started their ignite with a DT session this morning. They have started building a volcano! They explored textures and materials to create the parts of the volcano.
I am looking forward to seeing how this develops over the term. 
We are extremely proud of one of our new children for achieving their Open, Grow, Believe Pin! She has settled in very well and has been modelling the Brookland’s values and ethos consistently.
Well done!
Miss Downey
We have had a great week back! Miss Draper was so impressed with how quickly we all settled in. It was lovely to share all our activities over the Christmas holidays.
This week we have been doing lots of science activities. We revisited the body and learnt our five different senses – can you share them at home? We got to use our senses in several different games – our favourite one was where we were blindfolded and had to find out who took Miss Draper’s keys!
We finished off our week by revisiting the seasons – Miss Draper was so impressed at what we already knew. We also learnt that seasons are a result of the Earth travelling around the Sun. Can you share your experiences with your parents? You are welcome to come in and take a look at our Science floor book which has lots of photos.
We look forward to next week where we will be starting our new topic. We will be sharing all of our home learning and finding out what we already know. Our classroom is slowly being transformed to 1666 London – please come in and take a look!
